The melodic minor. Though the 6th is also raised on the ascent.
a b c d e f# g# a g f e d c b a
I intentionally omitted it since it's so contextually dependent.
But I suppose you could specify it anyway:
ascending:
i: min/maj7
ii: min7
III: maj7+5
IV: dom7
V: dom7
vi: -7
vii: -7
descending:
same as natural minor.
